Proposed by Cllr. McKee, seconded by Cllr. Duff and resolved; “that the minutes of a special meeting of the Shannon Town Council held in the Shannon Town Hall at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday March 25th 2008 to consider the terms of reference for the administration of the Community Initiative Fund, having been circulated, be adopted and signed by the Meara Bhaile

The Meara Bhaile reported that at the area council meeting The Arts Centre was discussed and he confirmed that when a draft design of this centre becomes available it will be presented to the Town Council for comment. The issue of the sale of land at Dun an Oir was dealt with. On Roads issues a number of Shannon Town Roads are scheduled for repair / upgrading. A list of these roads will be made available to members

Cllr Duff reported on the success of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and was supported in this by all the members. There were some difficulties with the starting point and this should be addressed before next year. This MPC is now considering an appropriate way to recognise 30 years of Special Olympics in Ireland. The first meeting on this project is scheduled for April 8th. Cllr. Flynn’s committee cannot follow up on getting information maps erected in appropriate parts of the town until all the roads and estates in the town have name plates
